Seven-Year-Old Xiao Yu Spends Another Mother's Day without His Mother
2007-07-13"Give back my mother!" This is the cry of seven-year-old Xiao Yu who is a first grade elementary student living in Tangshan City, Hebei Province. He spent another Mother's Day without his mother this year. In December, 2000, when Xiao Yu was only 7 months old, Ms. Liang was detained because she went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong. Zheng Wu attempted to force her to give up her belief by prohibiting her from seeing and nursing her infant son. Since Ms. Liang refused to give up Falun Gong, her employer went so far as to send her to a Mental Health Institution in Tangshan City. She was detained there for four and a half years and subjected to inhumane treatment. Sane, healthy people are locked up in mental hospitals where they are injected with drugs over a long period of time which destroy the central nervous system. -
